London-based rock trio Dream Nails releases their new track ‘The Information’—an urgent, groove-fuelled blend of post-punk and melodic grunge from their highly anticipated third studio album You Wish.

“Sometimes the universe calls you up, and you need to make sure the damn phone isn’t on silent and you answer. It will almost certainly be a withheld number,” guitarist Anya Pearson shares about ‘The Information’.

She adds, “In this song, we are imagining what it would be like to feel everything, all at once. We noticed how disassociated and numb we were feeling in reaction to the world being so overwhelming. But in the face of so much struggle, joy truly is an act of resistance. The track is a celebration of staying open to both ecstasy and pain. That’s what being alive truly means to us” 

Drummer Lucy Katz adds, “The seed of the song was ‘I’m gonna download all the information’. Mimi came up with it, and it made us laugh because it sounds so bizarre. How can we remain open to all the accumulated knowledge of humanity without toppling into a full-on psychotropic ego-death?

“The lyric ‘everything flows through me’ refers to ancient ways of being and doing that still exist within each of us”, shares singer Mimi Jasson. “We’re channelling primal forces on this record, and this song is the perfect example of this.”

Accompanying the release is a video created by LA-based video artist Casey Kauffman. Following a chance encounter in an LA art gallery, the band discovered a kindred spirit in Casey, whose work also explores our anxiety and fascination with rapidly evolving technology and our relationship with the algorithms that are as mythical as they are homogenising.
